Marbleworks Compatible Hypo-4-6-2 Inside-Out Two Petal Flower

This is part of a parent collection featuring multiple unique marble tracks compatible with the Marbleworks Grand Prix marble set. For access to a larger collection of marble tracks, see the remix source. A Hypotrochoid design with two almost circular petals that rejoin at the tower stands out as particularly interesting. This result came from applying mathematical principles in a way that turned out fun when executed. It's far more engaging than a standard tower. The equations used to build these loops are: ``` x(t) = cos(t) - cos((-1 / 3) t) y(t) = sin(t) + sin((-1 / 3) t) ```
